Well, since I managed to make an ass of myself yesterday in one of those unfortunate Middle East threads, I thought I should try to make amends by posting what I have written so far on my TL. As those interested will see below, I have not gotten farther than the initial POP, but I will get there. I have several ideas were to head, but my writing does hamper me…
First of all I must state a few warnings to those of you that bother with my timeline. I will do so by quoting two members of this site:
I will also refer to another member, Leej, and his concept of “Convergent AH.” My TL will probably partially fall under this category, but I do not agree that this makes it ASB.
Second, I hope I will get some feedback about possible butterfly effect in the rest of Europe, as my focus mainly is Scandinavia.
At last I must also warn you that I am slow, very slow (I have been a member for almost 2 years, and this is my first timeline!). So don’t expect regular updates.

Max Sinister:
“Note that I will use a limited butterfly effect in this TL: After a certain while there won't be i.e. the successors from OTL, but only "morphic twins" from the same dynasties. Not as in other TL’s where historical persons pop up even 1000 years after the POD (sorry, basileus).
OTOH, the POD won't immediately cause that all persons born will be different. That's why I said "limited butterfly effect" - after the POD it will take some years until the changes are outside Mongolia, several decades until they reach Europe and even centuries for Australia. (That's not how chaos theory works, but it's a bit easier for me.)”
Glen:
“Your limited butterfly effect timeline is reasonable, especially since you stated it as such. A small subset of timelines could be expected to run nearly parallel to ours in such a manner. The majority of timelines would have the full butterfly effect notable, but the probabilities allow for a small subset to not have that effect by shear probabilities dampened.”
